Okay, ignoring the fact you just responded to a comment from almost a year ago, you didn’t answer the question. How is your right to own a gun revoked by steps put in place to prevent nutjobs from shooting innocent people?

Can’t exactly match speed when you’re sitting at the speed of traffic and they mash the throttle to get ahead of you as soon as you hit your signal.

TBH Alberta really needs to get over itself. 

I’ll agree. Truck driver definitely looked like they were trying to get out of the way of traffic, Lexus driver seemed like “shit what do I do...” then peaced. 

I’ve got to agree with you on the driving in Edmonton. Alberta in general, really. To be honest I’d say Calgary’s a bit worse than Edmonton, but I’ve encountered the same thing across the province, from GP to Lethbridge. I’ve driven in pretty well every major city in western Canada, and east as far as Ottawa, many…

The rental Jeep I just booked goes by “full-size open air all-terrain”. I’m totally okay with all-terrain SUV as distinguished from a crossover or passenger SUV.

I’m going to have to disagree with you on extra lighting ever being necessary, even in places like Canada, where large animals roam. Not only do I live in Canada, I live in the Rockies, where roads are just a series of overlapping corners, some with “ditches” hundreds of feet deep, in a national park where there’s…

Funny list of parts to hang onto there. The stuff worth hanging onto is everything MJ-specific, and some of that stuff listed isn’t. Like the front axle. 3.55 geared XJ d30’s are a dime a dozen, and that CAD axle is undesirable. Also I question the knowledge of whoever put it together. MJ bucket seats definitely flip…

Studs have a ton of die-hard users anywhere I’ve lived in five provinces significantly south of the Yukon Territory, probably just as many as the “all-seasons are fine I’ve never had an issue in 30 years of driving” people. But it’s mostly people who still get car advice from their parents and grandparents.

“It’s only autumn”...

It’s a bit of a reach but I wouldn’t call it anything out of the ordinary for a window crank. No worse than an xj/mj at any rate.

Do it. The body’s repairable but probably not worth it. But as to preserving the manual trans parts? Put it this way, the factory manual is a second generation XJ how AMC intended it to be. Mine has fewer “luxuries” than this one does, manual windows, locks, factory a/c delete, but as a family SUV the ZJ treads the…

No vehicle was jacked up safely if cinder blocks were involved, earthquake or no. 

With a transverse engine, no, not optimal. But when the engine is oriented the way it should be, you don’t really need to get at the front. It’s just easier not smashing your head on it, having to reach around prop rods, etc. It’s everything you love about the CJ’s, but without it flying up and smashing the windshield …

Okay let’s rephrase this then. How is your right to own a gun revoked by anything put in place to prevent random people being shot by nut jobs?

What about my right not to be shot by some right-wing nut job while walking through the mall?

New cars suck. Too many gadgets and “features” getting in the way of it being a car.

How many people get live from rental ski helmets? The kid at the reveal desk isn’t doing much more than giving them a spray of disinfectant, either. Although at least in that case it’s every time the helmet comes back in.

At least once a month in the winter, maybe a dozen times per year? Once or twice in the summer as well he'll get stuck in mud somewhere. 

A couple other things that help significantly are keeping your headlight lenses clean and not having some dumb aftermarket stereo setup that can’t be dimmed.
